Activists of Kashmiri separatist party, the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), hold torches during a sit-in protest in Srinagar, Kashmir. The protest is against what the JKLF say are continuous human rights violations imposed by the Indian security forces on Kashmiris. JKLF, which declared a cease fire in 1994 against Indian security forces, says it leads a political struggle for Kashmir's complete independence from both India and Pakistan, who claim the region in full, but rule in parts.
